irawanjohan Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 It's nice to find this interesting forum. I really need to learn a lot about being vegan. My mother has been a vegetarian for years but I never consider becoming a vegetarian even a bit. Don't know why, 2 days ago, after watching YouTube channel on Vegan Gains and Gary Yourofsky, I don't really feel good about myself eating animal products. I've been training with weights since I was young. And I compete in natural bodybuilding competition sometime. For me being a vegan is hard because I have to leave most my bodybuilding foods and supplements behind. But I feel better for the bigger cause than my body. I hope I can learn a lot about bodybuilding and vegan style living from this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eiji Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 The first few months can be a little sketchy as you figure out how to get enough calories from whole foods and your GI gets used to all the fiber. I couldn't handle beans for the longest time. Just now putting them back in and I'm handling them much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My digestion needs time to get used to higher carb intake. I take tofu and tempeh mostly as it's easily available in Indonesia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
